The OCP Future Technologies Symposium (FTS) is a bi-annual event, held in conjunction with the OCP Global and Regional Summits, to provide a forward-looking funnel of technologies which focus on solving future problems facing the industry, and accelerate productization through partnerships and open source R&D. It is also a unique opportunity to expose a generation of up-and-coming, best-in-class students to the professional community for purposes of research, training and recruitment.
